Abstract

The article deals with phraseological units with antonymous components characterizing a person in English and Kazakh and their semantic,emotional-expressive evaluation functions.The purpose of the study is to determine the similarities and differences in the semantics of phraseological units, characterizing a person in the compared languages, as well as to identify the features of their national-cultural representation.During the study of these phraseological units,the features of the national mentality and culture of thosepeoples were determined.The scientific novelty of the studyis the comparative analysis of phraseological units with antonymous components, characterizinga person inEnglish and Kazakh.The scientific-practical significance of this research is determined by the increased demand for the study of phraseological units in the framework of linguoculturology, and also lies in the fact that the consideration of phraseological units of two unrelated languages has an impact on the further development of phraseology in comparative terms.In order to achieve the purposeof the research, the methods of continuous sampling and comparative analysis were appliedin the research,during which the following results were obtained: phraseological units with antonymous components were selected from phraseological dictionaries and divided into phraseosemantic groups, the scope of the phraseological units being studied were defined. In the course of determining the semantic features of phraseological units, the phraseosemanticgroup “phraseological units with antonymous components characterizing a person” and its subgroups were considered separately.The practical significance of the researchlies in the identification of universal and specific characteristics in the semantics of phraseological units with antonymous components. The data obtained as a result of the researchwill undoubtedly provide the necessary information to linguists dealing with the problems of English and Kazakh phraseology, antonyms,linguoculturology, and also contribute to the development of the theory of linguistics and comparative analysis.
